Insertion structure of partitioning slat of a receptacle

ABSTRACT

An insertion structure of partitioning slat of a receptacle, including: a pair of first assembling bodies oppositely disposed in the receptacle at intervals, a middle section of each first assembling body being formed with at least one first insertion slit; a pair of second assembling bodies disposed in the receptacle and positioned between two ends of the first assembling bodies; and a first partitioning slat two ends of which are respectively formed with two first insertion bodies for inserting in the first insertion slits. Each first insertion body includes a first fitting section and a first projection. The first fitting section is fitted through a corresponding first insertion slit. The first projection upward extends by a certain height from one end of the first fitting section in a direction of the short side of the first partitioning slat. The first projection is engaged with a corresponding first assembling body to form a firm and easily detachable structure for varying the interior space of the receptacle for accommodating different sorts of articles.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

The present invention is related to a partitioning structure, and moreparticularly to an insertion structure of partitioning slat of areceptacle.

A receptacle such as a drawer generally has a rectangular interiorspace. Various kinds of articles are collectively placed in the interiorspace. After the receptacle is transferred or the articles in thereceptacle are moved, it often takes place that the articles are tangledor overlapped with each other. As a result, a user can hardly find anecessary article from the tangling articles. Also, the interior spaceof the receptacle is wasted.

In order to solve the above problems, in some receptacles, two oppositesides of the receptacle are formed with several insertion channels atintervals. Two ends of a partitioning plate are inserted in theinsertion channels to partition the interior space of the receptacle. Auser can conveniently place different sorts of articles in differentcompartments. However, it is troublesome and complicated to manufacturethe receptacle with the insertion channels on two opposite sides.Therefore, it is hard to mass-produce the receptacles.

FIGS. 1, 2 and 3 show a receptacle partitioning structure including fourslat bodies 91 which are independently made and disposed along inneredges of the receptacle 92. Each slat body 91 is formed with severalinsertion channels at intervals. Two ends of a partitioning plate 93 areinserted in the insertion channels. Such slat body and partitioningplate can be mass-produced and can be added to those receptacles whichare originally formed without any insertion channel. The partitioningplate 93 is downward inserted into the insertion channels of the slatbody 91 in different positions so as to vary the space for accommodatingdifferent sorts of articles. However, the partitioning plate 93 is notfixedly connected or engaged with the slat body. Therefore, when a usertakes out an article or the partitioning plate suffers an unexpectedexternal force, it often takes place that the partitioning plate 93 isdetached from the insertion channels. This leads to trouble in use ofsuch partitioning plate 93.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

It is therefore a primary object of the present invention to provide aNinsertion structure of partitioning slat of a receptacle. The structureis firm and easily detachable for varying the interior space of thereceptacle for accommodating different sorts of articles.

According to the above object, the insertion structure of thepartitioning slat of the receptacle includes a pair of first assemblingbodies, a pair of second assembling bodies and a first partitioningslat. The first assembling bodies are oppositely disposed in thereceptacle at intervals. A middle section of each first assembling bodyis formed with at least one first insertion slit. The second assemblingbodies are disposed in the receptacle and positioned between two ends ofthe first assembling bodies. Two ends of the first partitioning slat arerespectively formed with two first insertion bodies for inserting in thefirst insertion slits.

The present invention can be best understood through the followingdescription and accompanying drawings wherein:

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

Please refer to FIGS. 4 to 7. The insertion structure 1 of partitioningslat of the receptacle of the present invention includes a receptacle12, a pair of first assembling bodies 14, a pair of second assemblingbodies 16 and a first partitioning slat 18.

The receptacle 12 is a rectangular solid body composed of a bottom boardand four sideboards. The receptacle 12 defines an interior space and hasan upper opening.

The pair of first assembling bodies 14 are slat bodies withpredetermined length. The pair of first assembling bodies 14 areoppositely disposed on inner side of the bottom board of the receptacle12 at intervals. The middle section of the first assembling body 14 isformed with at least one vertical first insertion slit 42.

The pair of second assembling bodies 16 are slat bodies withpredetermined length. Each second assembling body 16 is positionedbetween two ends of the first assembling bodies 14 to form a rectangularframe.

The first partitioning slat 18 has a length equal to the distancebetween the first assembling bodies 14. Two ends of the firstpartitioning slat 18 are respectively formed with two first insertionbodies 82 for inserting in the first insertion slits 42. Each firstinsertion body 82 includes a first fitting section 821 and a firstprojection 822.

The first fitting section 821 is a polygonal block outward extendingfrom one end of the first partitioning slat 18. The first fittingsection 821 is fitted through a corresponding first insertion slit 42.

The first projection 822 upward extends by a certain height from one endof the first fitting section 821 in a direction of the short side of thefirst partitioning slat 18. The first projection 822 is engaged with acorresponding first assembling body 14.

The first and second assembling bodies 14, 16 are first placed on inneredges of the receptacle 12. Then the first insertion bodies 82 of twoends of the first partitioning slat 18 are downward inserted into thecorresponding first insertion slits 42. The first fitting sections 821prevent the first partitioning slat 18 from falling down. The firstprojections 822 make the first partitioning slat 18 uneasy to detachfrom the first insertion slit 42. Reversely, when disassembling thestructure, the first and second assembling bodies 14, 16 and the firstpartitioning slat 18 are taken out from the receptacle 12. At this time,the first partitioning slat 18 will easily downward slip out. The firstand second assembling bodies 14, 16 and the first partitioning slat 18can be re-assembled to vary the space for accommodating articles.

According to the above arrangement, the insertion structure 1 ofpartitioning slat of the receptacle of the present invention has thefollowing advantages:

-   -   1. The present invention can vary the space of the receptacle        for accommodating different sorts of articles. Moreover, the        present invention has firm structure.    -   2. The structure of the present invention can be readily and        conveniently disassembled without using any tool.    -   3. The present invention can be mass-produced to lower the        manufacturing cost.

The upper and lower sides of the first fitting section 821 abut againstthe corresponding first assembling body 14 so that the structure isfirmer.

The distance between upper end of the first projection 822 and the innerside of the bottom board of the receptacle 12 is larger than thedistance between upper end of the first insertion slit 42 and the innerside of the bottom board of the receptacle 12.

The middle section of the second assembling body 16 is further formedwith at least one vertical second insertion slit 62. The middle sectionof the first partitioning slat 18 is formed with at least one split 84having an open end. The present invention further includes a secondpartitioning slat (not shown) with a certain length. The secondpartitioning slat has a shape similar to that of the first partitioningslat 18.

The second partitioning slat has a length equal to the distance betweenthe second assembling bodies 16. Two ends of the second partitioningslat are respectively formed with two second insertion bodies forinserting in the second insertion slits 62. The middle section of thesecond partitioning slat is formed with at least one split having anopen end for inserting into the split 84 of the first partitioning slat.Accordingly, the first partitioning slat 18 and the second partitioningslat latitudinally and longitudinally intersect each other to partitionthe interior space of the receptacle into more compartments. The secondinsertion body includes a second fitting section and a secondprojection.

The second fitting section is a polygonal block outward extending fromone end of the second partitioning slat. The second fitting section isfitted through a corresponding second insertion slit 62.

The second projection upward extends by a certain height from one end ofthe second fitting section in a direction of the short side of thesecond partitioning slat. The second projection is engaged with acorresponding second assembling body 16.

The upper and lower sides of the second fitting section abut against thecorresponding second assembling body 16 so that the structure is firmer.

The distance between upper end of the second projection and the innerside of the bottom board of the receptacle 12 is larger than thedistance between upper end of the second insertion slit 62 and the innerside of the bottom board of the receptacle 12.

The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the present invention,not intended to limit the scope thereof. Many modifications of the aboveembodiments can be made without departing from the spirit of the presentinvention.
